Chapter 25 Surround Wei to save Zhao and transfer the tiger away from the mountain
The winter on the grassland is particularly cold, compared to the abundance of aquatic plants in other seasons, full of life, it is a completely different scene, the north wind is bleak, and the grass is withered. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info even if the goshawk hovering in the sky flies far, it is difficult to find a prey that can satisfy the stomach. Suddenly, it saw a fat sheep on the ground, eating hay, and there was no sign of a hunter around. The goshawk changed its stance in the air and swooped down like an off-string arrow. The moment its claws grabbed the fat sheep, a hand suddenly stretched out from under the sheep's belly and firmly grasped its two paws.
"General, this is a goshawk that has just grown up, and his subordinates learned the skill of boiling eagles with their father when they were young. Give me half a year to train it to be a falcon that can observe the enemy and deliver information. "The person who spoke was called Ma Ming, a member of the White Horse Yicong, and also a personal soldier of Xiahoulan. Since Xiahou Lan has slowed down the speed of raiding on the grassland in the past two days, and has been resting all day today, Ma Ming has time to catch the goshawk.
Xia Houlan looked at it and couldn't help but praise, "Good job, if you can really train it, I will definitely report it to General Zhao and let him reward you well." After a pause, he said to Ma Ming, "We have also corrected it for almost two days, and told the brothers that they are all nervous, and it is estimated that by tomorrow at the latest, the subordinates of the princess of Wuhuan Qiao will find us." When the time comes, they will definitely have no return. If we don't come tomorrow, it means that the enemy is already afraid of us, and it is estimated that we have already sent someone to inform the king of Wuhuan Cliff, and the time is almost up, and we will set off for the south early the next morning. ”
"No!" Ma Ming went down to give the order, but Xiahou Lan fell into deep thought, what method can be used to exchange the lowest price for the biggest victory?
Hachi led 1,500 Wuhuan cavalry, and according to the information provided by the herdsmen, it took less than two days to find those hateful Han people. As if God forbid, these damned Han Chinese not only didn't find the Wuhuan cavalry, but they also lit bonfires and ate fat sheep in the open space in front of their tents. From a distance, there are dozens of big tents, surrounded by a circle, those hateful Han dogs should be here, Ha Chi smiled a little, today will wipe out your army.
In fact, Hachi had never thought of fighting at night before, but today's opportunity was too good, and the Han people were defenseless. With just one charge, you can kill them all, and it's a shame that you don't take advantage of such an opportunity. So Hachi decisively gave the order. When the cavalry charged, the dust raised by the horses' hooves and the shaking of the earth alarmed the Han people who were eating fat sheep. Seeing that they were running around, shouting that the enemy was coming, they had not found their horses, nor had they put their formations in order. Hachi knew that if he rushed through, the battle would be a one-sided slaughter.
Just when Hachi was ready for victory, the cavalry that rushed to the forefront suddenly stumbled and fell into the big pit that the Han had already dug. The Han people are really scheming. Could it be that a small pit can stop the pace of our attack," the signal ordered, detouring to both sides. ”
As soon as Hachi's cavalry separated, he was shot like a rain of arrows, and he didn't even understand why the Han people who had just been in chaos just now suddenly became calm and calm, and several crossbow arrows flew past his ears. And the enemy's crossbow bolts were fired at an unimaginably fast rate and frequency. In the blink of an eye, more than 200 people fell to the ground. And the man who fell from his horse once again disrupted the formation, affecting the speed of the cavalry's attack and change of formation.
It was this sluggishness, another burst of fire, and more cavalry rolled over and fell from their horses. Hachi was a little angry all of a sudden, the Han people are too cunning, is the camp here just a trap? But then he gave up this idea, even if he was trapped, the Han people only had a total of 500 horsemen, and they still wanted to surround us. "Rush in, rush in for me, kill all these Han people for me." Although the bows and crossbows of the Han people were sharp, they could not last after all, and after a while, Kung Fu Hachi led more than 1,000 people to rush into the camp of the Han people. Only about 100 of the Han people who resisted just now fled on their horses, and the rest should be in their tents. Ha Chixin said, look at how far you run, I'll kill these guys who didn't run away first. When the steel knives of the Wuhuan people were about to harvest the heads of the Han people, they found that there was no one in each tent, but a pile of hay.
Hay? "It's not good, get out of here!" Before Hachi could shout the word "withdraw", countless rockets flew in and set the hay on fire. Hachi's 1,000 cavalry was plunged into flames. I only heard the sound of whirring, the cry for help, and the sound of pain burned by the fire. The clever Wuhuan people quickly found a place with a small fire and tried to escape, but as soon as they escaped, they found that the camp was surrounded by Han cavalry, white clothes, white horses, white helmets and white armor, and they were all invincible white horse righteous servants, and there were 500 people.
The Wuhuan people knew that retreating was to be burned to death, and they might have a chance to survive if they rushed up, so they rushed out desperately, but the spear and scimitar of the white horse were never vegetarians. They looked at the Wuhuan cavalry rushing out as if they were a dead man.
An hour later, Xia Houlan cleaned the battlefield with five hundred white horses, and the smell of burnt corpses filled the air. In this battle, Xiahou Lan asked 100 people to shoot with 500 crossbows in a row, eliminating more than 300 Wuhuan cavalry; Five or six hundred Wuhuan people were killed in the pit and the fire, and the rest of the Wuhuan people who rushed out of the fire all died under the spears and scimitars of the white horse Yicong, and none of them were spared.
Xiahoulan led 500 cavalry to a complete victory, only two were killed and more than 30 were wounded.
Now it's time to return south, Xia Houlan asked everyone to take off a piece of the herdsman's clothes, change the clothes of the Wuhuan people, and then ride south in one person and two horses.
When the news of the death of all 1,500 Wuhuan soldiers reached the ears of the princess of Wuhuan Cliff, it was already a day later. The scouts were sent to see more than a thousand charred or uncharred corpses, not a single one alive. The fear of these 500 Han cavalry had enveloped the entire royal tent and the tribes under the jurisdiction of the king of Wuhuan Qiao.
The princess immediately ordered to send a messenger to Yuyang to report to the king of Wuhuan Cliff, and asked the king of the cliff to return to help quickly, otherwise the king's tent would not be protected and the tribe would be extinct. Then he decisively ordered that the king's tent be moved westward until it was connected to the border with the Lord of the South Tower. 2,000 herdsmen were recruited as Wuhuan warriors, and the current 500 Wuhuan king's tent guards formed a guard directly under the princess to protect the safety of the king's tent.
In order to ensure safety, the messengers sent by the princess consisted of three teams, taking different routes, each team of five people, one person and three horses. Xin used the fastest speed and arrived at Yan Rou's camp in less than five days.
Yan Rou is summarizing the mistakes of today's assault in the tent, and arranging tomorrow's siege deployment. Suddenly, a guard came to report, and someone claimed to be the messenger of the princess of Wuhuan Cliff, and came to deliver a letter to Lord Cliff.
King Qiao's face was a little uncomfortable, and he glanced at Yan Rou, "Yan Sima, then I will retire first, finish handling the affairs of the clan, and then come to discuss with Lord Sima about the siege of the city tomorrow." ”
Yan Rou grabbed the King of Cliffs, "The King of Cliffs should have dealt with it by himself, but several of our coalition forces are jointly crusading against Gongsun Zhan, your business is my business, and everyone's business." If Lord Cliff King doesn't dislike it, can we also share the worries of Lord Cliff King? ”
King Qiao secretly scolded Yan Rou for being troublesome, and said, "In this case, then there is Lord Laosi." Tell me to get the messenger in. ”
I saw that the people who came were in a panic, and they didn't look up, nor did they look at how many people were in the tent, and when they came in, they shouted, "Lord Qiaowang is not good, it is not good." I don't know where the Han people came from did evil on the steppe of adults, and they burned more than 20 of our tribes in ten days. The princess sent General Hachi to fight, but was wiped out by the Han people. My lord, now the foundation of the lord is not guaranteed, once those Han people kill the king's tent, then the princess and hundreds of guards of the king's tent, and the gold and silver treasures that the adults have accumulated over the years have been taken away by the Han people. ”
"Ah, yes, what you say is true? If there's half a lie, be careful that I peel you with cramps. King Wuhuan said, glancing at Yan Rou from the corner of his eye, after all, now that Yuyang is in Yan Rou's hands, there are really no other Han people besides him who can pass through Yuyang and reach the grassland.
Yan Rou also realized the seriousness of the problem, and it seemed that the most important thing was to dispel the doubts of the Wuhuan Cliff King. "How many Han people do you say there are, and what kind of dress do you make?"
"I don't remember the dress, but I remember that the spy who reported the news said that these people were all dressed in white and white armor, and the war horses under their crotches were all white horses, without variegation. The number of people, about 500 people, is also heard from others. The person said.
Bai Ma Yicong, Yan Rou and Wuhuan King shouted out at the same time. It turned out that these five hundred cavalry went to the steppe, no wonder the scouts and patrols that they excluded never saw their traces, it turned out that they went to the steppe.
When the king of Wuhuan Qiao heard this, he knew that these five hundred white horses had absolutely the ability to disturb the grassland and break through the king's tent. It seems that we must leave immediately and return to the grassland, if it is too late, then the family business that has been accumulated so hard for so many years will be ruined. After hearing this, King Wuhuan was about to resign.
Yan Rou stopped, "Lord Qiaowang, now that the Great Camp City of Luhe Hebei is about to be broken, as long as we work harder, then in three days at most, this success will be broken." Wouldn't it be a waste to leave now? ”
King Wuhuan Qiao also sighed, "The truth that Lord Sima said is understood in Xia, but the foundation of the Xia family is very thin, once the king's tent is broken and the herdsmen are killed, there is no time to recover without ten years." Master Sima also said just now that the Lubei camp was broken in an instant, and now there is such a pair of soldiers and horses here, and I am not missing 3,000 people. When I go back to the grassland and clean up these white horse followers, it's not too late to come back to help Master Sima. ”
Yan Rou said, "Do you know that Zhao Yun's exclusion of these five hundred cavalry must have been premeditated, and the purpose is to lure you back to the grassland." The key division of troops on the battlefield is a big taboo. Lord Qiaowang only needs to join forces with me to attack for two more days, and when the city is broken, there will be no Gongsun Zhan's forces in the entire north of the Lu River. Those few hundred cavalry will definitely not be defeated, or I will send 2,000 soldiers and horses to help the King of Cliffs to strangle these cavalry. Just wait two days and everything will be revealed! ”
But the Wuhuan Cliff King was unwilling, "Yan Sima said it easily, but it was not your people who died. I've made up my mind, I'll set off now, rush back to the grassland, and everything can still be done. After speaking, he ignored Yan Rou, except for the big tent, and went to arrange for the people of the headquarters to prepare for departure.
King Wuhuan Cliff brought 5,000 people to help Yan Rou, and now there are only more than 3,000 people left. The king of Wuhuan Cliff brought soldiers and horses, took provisions, and the army quickly marched out. It took five or six days to get to the king's tent at the earliest, and the king of Wuhuan was also anxious.
When King Wuhuan Qiao led his army out of the camp, Xiahou Lan and five hundred cavalry hid in the mountains and forests not far from Yan Rou's camp, and they could see it clearly. King Wuhuan led his troops back to the grassland, so Wei rescued Zhao and diverted the tiger from the mountain to succeed. Now it's time to go back and make peace with General Zhao Yun. Just when Xiahou Lan was about to sneak back to the Luhe Hebei camp with the cavalry at night, the subordinates of King Wuhuan Qiao inadvertently said, "Grandma, there is so much grain and grass in Yan Rou's camp, but we only take such a little, and Yan Rou's guy is cheap." If you rely on me, it won't be a loss to rob him hard" but Yan Rou changed her mind.
